Chapter 1498 - 1431: Phantom Blood Ant, Ant Emperor!

This woman, although her appearance is exactly the same as the young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building, at this moment her baleful aura is extremely heavy, completely different from when he first saw her before.

This meant that this person was very adept at disguise.

But facing Qin Feiyang's question, the woman kept sneering viciously, those blood-red eyes like a Demon choosing its prey to devour.

With her refusing to answer for so long, Qin Feiyang was about to lose his patience.

But just then.

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building said, "If I'm not mistaken, she should be a Ghost Blood Ant in human form."

"Ghost Blood Ant!"

Qin Feiyang's gaze trembled, and he asked, "You mean the Ghost Blood Ant that's as famous as the Ghost Serpent?"

"That's right."

The Dragon Phoenix Building's young lady nodded.

Qin Feiyang's expression instantly sank.

He had once read about Ghost Blood Ants in an ancient book of the Imperial Palace.

These Ghost Blood Ants, like the Ghost Serpents, are born without any aura.

But the abilities of the two are different.

The Ghost Serpent's ability is to change the color of its skin and confuse people's sight.

Whereas the Ghost Blood Ant's ability is transformation.

As long as it has seen a living being, it can transform into that being's appearance.

And.

Whether it's temperament or scent, viewed from the surface there will be no difference at all.

Its effect is even better than a Shape-shifting Pill.

In short.

The Ghost Blood Ant is a creature extremely skilled at disguise.

Qin Feiyang calmed his inner shock, turned to look at the young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building, and asked, "You've seen it just now?"

Although the Ghost Blood Ant's ability is heaven-defying, there is a premise: before transforming, it must have seen the target it's going to mimic.

In other words.

The Ghost Blood Ant has now transformed into the young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building, which means that earlier it definitely saw her.

"I've seen it."

"Not long ago it even tried to ambush me."

"But I noticed it, and then it fled."

"I didn't expect it would actually run into you, and even take on my appearance to confuse you."

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building said with disgust.

"It's my carelessness too, for not spotting the flaw."

Qin Feiyang was quite annoyed as well. Looking at the Ghost Blood Ant, he asked, "How did you know that she and I know each other?"

Although the Ghost Blood Ant can transform into the young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building, before this, the Ghost Blood Ant had no idea that he and the young lady were acquainted.

Since it didn't know, how could the Ghost Blood Ant make its act so seamless?

"First, you were the one who took the initiative to speak to me, and when you spoke, there wasn't the slightest trace of hostility."

"It's not hard to judge from that that you knew each other previously."

"Second, for humans to appear here, there's only one possibility: the Divine Sign has already opened."

"You came from the outside world."

"Outsiders entering the Divine Sign are either friends or enemies."

"Do you still remember what you asked me when you saw me before?"

"You asked me if I was doing well."

"Your words carried thick concern. What does that indicate?"

"It indicates you are friends."

The Ghost Blood Ant sneered.

"So that's how it is."

"I didn't expect you to be this clever, it's just a pity you don't use it on the right path."

"Since your identity has already been exposed, then hurry up and reveal your true form, let me see what kind of freak you really look like."

Qin Feiyang said.

Although he had seen Ghost Blood Ants in ancient texts, this was his first time seeing the true creature.

"Jie jie..."

The Ghost Blood Ant swept its gaze over the two of them, its entire body suddenly bursting with patches of dazzling blood light.

The Ghost Blood Ant was directly swallowed by the blood light.

Though Qin Feiyang and the young lady couldn't see what was happening inside the blood light, they could clearly sense a terrifying vicious aura awakening.

Boom!

The vicious aura grew ever more horrifying.

A fierce wind howled, stirring up a sandstorm.

The whole earth at this moment began to tremble violently.

Cracks split open one after another, accompanied by earth-shattering rumbles, spreading out in all directions.

Seeing this, Qin Feiyang and the young lady looked at each other, both instinctively becoming wary.

Boom!

In the end.

The Ghost Blood Ant's vicious aura suddenly climbed to a critical point.

That critical point was precisely the peak of Nine-Star War Emperor!

"This is bad."

"It should be the Ant Emperor!"

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building's expression changed as she said gravely.

"Ant Emperor!"

Qin Feiyang was shocked.

The Ant Emperor is far more terrifying than ordinary Ghost Blood Ants.

Because it can command all Ghost Blood Ants.

"You humans entering this place is, for us, a joyous hunt."

"But unlike the outside."

"Outside, we fierce beasts are the prey and you humans are the hunters."

"But here, you humans are the prey and we fierce beasts are the hunters!"

"Little ones, the hunt begins!"

The Ghost Blood Ant's voice echoed from within the blood light.

Squeak squeak...

Immediately.

The whole plain was drowned in a piercing tide of sound.

Right after.

Sheets of blood-red waves surged out from the cracks in the ground.

On all sides, everywhere.

Seeing this scene, both Qin Feiyang and the young lady couldn't help their scalps going numb.

There were too many.

All of them Ghost Blood Ants.

Some were only palm-sized.

Some were the size of bowls and basins.

Some were as large as winnowing pans.

And there were many whose bodies were over ten meters, dozens of meters, even over a hundred meters long, baring mandibles and brandishing limbs, terrifying to the extreme!

Their shape was very similar to ordinary ants, their whole bodies blood-red, surging out in swarms.

The entire earth was trembling, and was quickly submerged by the blood-colored tide.

"So many!"

"Looks like that patch of blood light I captured before was just one of them!"

Qin Feiyang's mood grew incomparably heavy.

So there were this many underground ghost blood ants lurking beneath the ground.

"Jie jie..."

"Humans, didn't expect it, did you? You humans also have a day when you're hunted!"

The bloody radiance quickly dispersed, and a colossal figure appeared in the sights of Qin Feiyang and the young lady from the Phoenix Tower.

"It really is the Ant Emperor!"

The Phoenix Tower lady's face was as dark and still as deep water.

The massive creature before them was precisely the blood ant that had impersonated her earlier.

But compared to the other blood ants, this one was far too big.

Its body was over a hundred zhang tall, like a towering great peak standing ahead, exuding a sky-piercing murderous aura.

The claws beneath its abdomen were even more terrifying.

Each one was more than ten zhang long, like enormous blades, gleaming with a cold, bloody light and radiating a bone-piercing sharpness!

"So ugly."

"Calling you 'ugly' is already giving you too much credit."

Qin Feiyang shook his head.

"Uh!"

The Ant Emperor was stunned.

The Phoenix Tower lady was stunned.

The ghost blood ants surging in from all directions also halted in unison, staring strangely at Qin Feiyang.

Is this guy sick or something?

Death is at the door, and he still has the mood to sit there and critique appearances?

"Human, you will pay the price for those words you just said!"

"Minions, tear him into eight pieces for your emperor!"

Having come back to his senses, the Ant Emperor roared in fury, howling up at the sky, murderous intent soaring.

Squeak squeak...

Immediately.

The ghost blood ants from all directions swarmed toward Qin Feiyang and the Phoenix Tower lady like a hive exploding.

Their strength varied.

Some were Nine-Star War Emperors, some were Eight-star War Emperors.

But without exception, among all the ghost blood ants that had appeared, not a single one had a cultivation lower than War Emperor.

In other words, right now there were hundreds of thousands of emperor-ranked beasts charging at Qin Feiyang and the Phoenix Tower lady.

"What are you doing?"

"You think the trouble isn't big enough yet, so you have to deliberately provoke it?"

The Phoenix Tower lady snapped.

Qin Feiyang said calmly, "If we don't provoke it, you think it's just going to let us walk away?"

"Then do you have any way out of this?"

"With this many ghost blood ants, there's no way I can slaughter them all. Even if I could, I'd be exhausted to death."

"Besides, the Ant Emperor itself is a peak Nine-Star War Emperor."

"Most crucially, we have no idea how many more ghost blood ants are hiding under this ground."

The Phoenix Tower lady said in a deep voice.

Qin Feiyang said, "Heaven never completely cuts off a path. Let's watch and see first!"

Boom!

Before he even finished speaking.

The ground beneath their feet suddenly caved in.

The Phoenix Tower lady was startled; she quickly grabbed Qin Feiyang and sprang back.

And it was just as the two of them stepped away that a pack of ghost blood ants came pouring out from below.

Leading them was a ghost blood ant with a body some fifty to sixty zhang tall, like a small mountain, its ferocity overwhelming!

And its aura clearly had reached Nine-Star War Emperor!

"Lowly humans, dare to offend our emperor? Kill!"

The moment that ghost blood ant appeared, it lifted the claws beneath its abdomen and slashed at Qin Feiyang and the lady, a chilling light bursting forth!

"Get lost!"

The Phoenix Tower lady shouted, her jade-like hand sweeping through the air; Battle Intent roared out, transforming into a giant wave that surged forward.

Clang!

The instant Battle Intent collided with the sharp claws, it rang out with a series of deafening metallic sounds.

Most importantly!

Facing the Phoenix Tower lady's all-out strike, the claws of that ghost blood ant did not show a single trace of damage!

"That hard?"

The Phoenix Tower lady was dumbfounded on the spot.

Bear in mind.

She was also a Nine-Star War Emperor!

"We'll have to use battle arts if we want to hurt it."

Qin Feiyang said.

The Phoenix Tower lady said sternly, "Think of something, fast. These beasts are far stronger than expected. I won't be able to hold out for long."

With that!

She unleashed her aura completely.

Battle Intent poured out.

Clang!!!

At once.

One sword shadow after another ripped out across the sky.

In the end, there were a full fifty sword shadows encircling the space around the Phoenix Tower lady.

Each sword shadow was over a hundred zhang long.

As if condensed from ice itself, a frigid current swept in all directions!

This heaven and earth instantly seemed to plunge into the depths of winter, the cold biting to the bone!

"Hm?"

Qin Feiyang was surprised.

The battle art the Phoenix Tower lady was using felt somewhat similar to his Origin-Returning Sword Art.

"Ice Sword Art, cleave!"

With a sharp shout from the Phoenix Tower lady, the fifty sword shadows tore through the void, carrying a sky-toppling might as they hacked toward that ghost blood ant.

The ghost blood ant showed not the slightest sign of retreat and raised the claws beneath its abdomen, chopping down at the sword shadows.

Clang!!!

Sword shadows and sharp claws clashed, setting off dazzling sparks.

Clang!

Suddenly.

Accompanied by an especially thunderous crash, one of the ghost blood ant's claws snapped on the spot, and blood gushed from the broken stump like a spring!

"Human, you deserve death!"

The ghost blood ant let out a shrill scream of pain, its massive body bouncing straight off the ground as it leapt toward the fifty sword shadows and the Phoenix Tower lady.

The dozens of claws under its abdomen swung wildly, like a gigantic meat grinder.

"Hmph!"

"Sword Arts Unity!"

The Phoenix Tower lady snorted coldly, and the fifty sword shadows suddenly fused into one, forming a single thousand-zhang sword shadow.

Woo woo!

A frigid wind rose.

Frost appeared!

Its sharpness now surpassed what it had been before!

It had even reached the threshold of a Divine Art!
